I think the modern Intellisense has the right amount of prediction - offloads enough brain activity without completely relying on something else.
AI prediction feels way too much and way too eager to give me something. I don't know about you guys, but programming is an exercise for me, not just to make it work and call it a day.
However, AI would be useful if it can offer program structural and pattern recommendations. One big problem I now face, and I believe all hobbyists face too, is that when the program grows larger, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make it well structured and easy to expand -- on the other hand, pre-mature architecturing is also an issue. Reading other people's source is not particularly useful, because 1) You don't know whether it is suitable or even well written, and 2) Usually it is too tough to read other people's source code.

They are literally measuring who is using AI and how much and will eventually make it into an excuse for poor performance.
- markus_zhang 2y agoYeah I don't really mind using AI coding in work because it's boring as hell. And getting things done quicker is almost a virtue in the business world. I should have clarified that my original comment is about side projects or serious software engineering.
